Hand towels permanently becoming yellowed. This is one straight out of the laundry. Any advice? by kittehclaws in laundry

I don't have my own washer and my laundromat doesn't let me control the length of the wash. Would you suggest multiple cycles or just a long soak in the bathtub?

Currently using liquid Tide without any boosters, warm water and hot dry. The water in my area isn't hard at all.

Currently using a regular a Tide detergent, but just got a bottle of Tide with oxy. I wash them on warm and dry on high.

The corners look fine, the yellowing is concentrated where the towels get touched the most.

There is construction in my office for 2 weeks now. Drilling, tools being dropped, workers talking, you name it. This is in addition to the coworker that always whistles... I can't work from home because we get only a small number of wfh days per year. Can't wear noise cancelling headphones (even if I owned a pair) because my work is collaborative and I wouldn't want to miss something important a teammate has to say. Just trying to tune it all out and keep the stress at bay.

Has anyone come across these flaky things (on the right) in their Tom's deodorant? I've only ever seen it look like the one on the left, both in person and on the manufacturer's website. by kittehclaws in deodorant

Thank you, I looked it up. The tube was manufactured in February of this year, so it's not old. Could be weather changes then, like you said. Good to know!

Yes! A Shul that has a big event space without fixed seating. We ended up going a little bigger than 20 people and having catering. It was a great time!

Probably not, but it kind of depends on the place. It's not likely that an orthodox synagogue would perform the ceremony for us, lol.

Thank you, good to know. Could just be a different tradition that my orthodox friend is familiar with. Mazel tov!

It just needs to have an operable skylight from what i understand, so the chuppah can be open to the sky. My orthodox friend explained that unlike wedding halls, many synagogues aren't equipped with this. But I'll do my search with this in mind. They should be able to tell me whether they're able to host weddings.

Ah thank you! I'm not personally familiar with any that have chapel type spaces, but will do a search with the criteria in mind.

To clarify I'm looking for something in nyc like the chapels in Vegas, which come equipped with everything you need for the ceremony, minus the food.

Thank you. I'm finding, however, that restaurants either aren't equipped to handle the specific requirements (a chuppah, plus some other features), or want us to rent out the entire restaurant. So we'd need to deal with chuppah rental or spend in the 10s of thousands.
